Confirmations over 1

[Volcrado]

Is there any way to make Bitcoin node to inform me about 12 confirmations? By default, it informs me when the transaction popups and then when it hits the blockchain.

Any idea?

grepping through bitcoin source, I think this may be what you want, "RecommendedNumTransactions".

tsp@computer:~/src/bitcoin/src/qt$ grep -ri recommendednum
Binary file qt_libbitcoinqt_a-transactiondesc.o matches
Binary file qt_libbitcoinqt_a-transactiontablemodel.o matches
transactionrecord.cpp:        else if (status.depth < RecommendedNumConfirmations)
transactionrecord.h:    static const int RecommendedNumConfirmations = 6;
transactiontablemodel.cpp:        status = tr("Confirming (%1 of %2 recommended confirmations)").arg(wtx->status.depth).arg(TransactionRecord::RecommendedNumConfirmations);
Binary file libbitcoinqt.a matches
Binary file qt_libbitcoinqt_a-transactionrecord.o matches
Binary file bitcoin-qt matches


Edit src/qt/transactionsrecord.h in your bitcoin source tree, line 83, change the 6 to a 12.  Rebuild.  Then send me a tip for finding that for you.

Cheers!

Welp, rebuilding all the way over?

I'd love to send a tip, but will it actually help me out?

I want the node to inform me 12 times (only informs me about two times) about the confirmations.

What you want, to avoid complex changes to bitcoin code


when you got the first or second confirmation,

simply do notification each time a block is mined, maybe from block explorer site.

You want 12 confirmations each time a block is mined (new confirmation added) aren't you?

EDIT: site like blockchain.info already plays sound when block is mined

6 confirms is about one hour, so find a way to delay receiving those notifications by one hour
